Ingredients

  • 3-4 whole, sun-ripened tomatoes
  • 1 large handful fresh basil
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Squish and break up the tomatoes with your bare hands to make a rough sauce base. Hand tear the basil leaves and add to the tomatoes. Add the olive oil and salt and stir with a wooden spoon or your hands to combine.

  2. Place in a glass bowl or large glass jar. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a sunny spot for at least 3 hours.

  3. Serve over zucchini noodles, cooked pasta, or grilled bread. Add sauteed oyster mushrooms for a lighter "meat" option.
